    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are presented for monitoring a concentration of a specific halogen in a body of water such as a spa or bathing unit for example. The apparatus comprises a housing in which is positioned an optical absorption analyzer for making first and second measurement of transmission of ultraviolet light from a light source emitting light at a specific wavelength. The second and first measurements are taken respectively before and after the ultraviolet light has travelled through a sample of water and are used to derive a concentration of the specific halogen. The derived concentration may then be communicated to a user using a display device and/or may be used to control operational components of a bathing unit for adjusting the concentration of halogen in the water. In some practical implementations, the apparatus may be embodied as a standalone device, which may be configured to float on the water of the bathing unit or, alternatively, may be configured for being installed in-line in a water circulation path of the bathing input by connecting the housing to circulation piping.

    Abstract: A programmable controller for operating a system is provided as well as a method and devices of configuring such controller. The controller includes firmware storing instructions for controlling operations of the system, the firmware including a passive memory component and a processing unit programmed for operating the system at least in part based on the instructions of the firmware. The firmware is responsive to a signal carrying firmware update information received from an external device for drawing energy from the signal to activate the passive memory component and causing a firmware update process to be performed. Advantageously, the proposed controller can be configured in the absence of electrical power being supplied by an external source and in, some embodiments, using the signal carrying the firmware update information as the sole source of electrical energy in order to perform at least part of the firmware update process.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system to facilitate maintenance of a network enabled bathing unit system. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is presented providing a user operable control for receiving from a customer a service request requesting that a technician contact the customer. The user operable control may in some cases be enabled in response to detection of an operational error in the bathing unit system and disabled otherwise. In response to receipt of the service request through the user operable control, a notification message indicating that the customer has requested to be contacted by a technician is sent over a communication network. In some embodiments, a message responsive to the service request is received to cause the GUI to present user-selectable options to enable the customer to selectively permit the remote control and monitoring of the bathing unit system by a specific remote service technician.
